December 30, 200619 yr "The word out of Houston is the White SOx tried to get the Astros to include outfield prospect Hunter Pence in the Jon Garland deal before talks broke down... The White Sox's interest in pursuing a deal with the Mets would depend on how highly they regard Lastings Milledge, whose production has yet to match his five-tool potential. They reportedly have asked for Mike Pelfrey, but the right-hander seems untouchable... Some interesting minor-league signings you may have missed: outfielder-DH Ernie Young with the White Sox." Is this the ex-Cub, ex-Brewer Ernie Young? This is the first I'd heard that we signed him.
December 30, 200619 yr Eric Young is the Ex-Cub/Brewer you are thinking of. Last I knew he was on the Padres last year (for at least part of the year).

Eric is the infielder who played for the Cubs, Ernie is the 36 year old career minor leaguer who played for Charlotte last year.
December 30, 200619 yr At least someone in the Chicago media is mentionning the deal I want, Milledge+Pelfrey.

I thought it was odd Eric would have accepted a minor league deal. Thanks for the clear up.
December 31, 200619 yr QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Dec 30, 2006 -> 09:52 PM) ERNIE YOUNG, STAR MINOR LEAGUER Big fish, small pond.

I hope Kenny Williams didnt confuse himself by signing Ernie when he meant to sign Eric .....
January 3, 200719 yr Ernie was on the same USA team with Jeremy Reed if I'm not mistaken. They decided to not go with just young players for that team
